Industry overview

The Indian technical textile market is one of the fastest-growing segments in the country’s textile ecosystem, driven by rising demand for functional, performance-based materials across industrial and infrastructure sectors. The Indian technical textile ecosystem includes raw material suppliers (fibers, resins, coatings), machinery and fabric manufacturers, product converters, and end-user industries like infrastructure, healthcare, automotive, among others. It is supported by R&D institutes, testing labs, and government bodies through policies like PLI and textile parks. Unlike traditional textiles, technical textiles in India are being adopted for their utility, such as strength, thermal resistance, filtration efficiency, and biocompatibility.

In India, the technical textiles market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.5% between Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2030, from $28.5 billion to $47.0 billion. Of this, the Indian woven Raffia market stood at $8.4 billion in Fiscal 2025, with a share of 29.5% of the total technical textile market in India. Currently, technical textiles contribute a relatively modest portion, i.e., around 11.0% of the total textile market in India. Exports have grown from around $1.9 billion in Fiscal 2015 to $2.6 billion by Fiscal 2024, registering a CAGR of 6.0% to 6.5%, driven by rising demand for products like FIBC bags, PPE kits, and agro-textiles. Meanwhile, imports have since moderated to around $2.05 billion in Fiscal 2024 as domestic manufacturing improved and import substitution efforts gained traction.

India’s technical textile industry is entering a high-growth phase, driven by strong policy support through the PLI scheme, PMMITRA textile parks, and mandatory BIS standards. These initiatives, enabling large-scale manufacturing, enhance product quality, and encourage investment. With the global China strategy creating export opportunities and rising private sector participation, India is well-positioned to become a global hub for high-performance technical textiles. The Government of India (GoI) has introduced several initiatives and incentives, making the industry favourable for growth. The GoI has also focused on indigenous manufacturing through means such as production-linked incentive schemes for woven fabrics, which have two scheme slabs for providing incentives to woven fabric manufacturers, and the National Capital Goods Policy, 2016, which aims to double the local production of capital goods by 2025.

Pros and strengths 

Diverse product portfolio, offering end-to-end solutions for the woven fabric ecosystem: The company has a diverse product portfolio, providing end-to-end solutions for the entire ecosystem of woven fabric, offering services from ‘concept to commissioning’, throughout the complete production lifecycle required for the Raffia industry. It is a comprehensive solutions provider for the Raffia industry and offer a diverse suite of products, including tape extrusion lines, circular loom, coating and lamination lines, printing machine, conversion machine, multifilament yarn machines, and recycling machines, among others. It manufactures winders and rewinders for high performance fibres and it has also ventured into extrusion lines to produce technical monofilaments with diversified applications such as textiles, agriculture, medicine and sports.

Strong relationships with a diverse, global customer base through an extensive global sales and distribution network: Through in-house innovations and leveraging its global knowledge, it has been offering differentiated and customer centric products that cater to industry requirements. It has supplied products to customers in around 100 countries in Fiscals 2026, 2025 and 2024. Its sales and services network at different locations allows it to service and grow in these markets efficiently. In addition to its domestic sales, since its first sale outside India in 1989, it has increased its geographical footprint by focusing on certain emerging markets such as Asia Pacific, MENA, CIS and Sub-Saharan Africa.

Advanced manufacturing infrastructure with comprehensive backward integration: It owns and operates four machine manufacturing facilities along with one live experience centre in India (where it also manufactures FIBCs), with a total area of around 159,884.08 square meters, in addition to a manufacturing facility in USA and a manufacturing facility in Como, Italy. It also owns and operates the TTRC, a training centre in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, which stands out within the global woven Raffia machinery ecosystem with a constructed area of over 7,300.00 square meters. In addition, it has set up the MTTC with a constructed area of over 3,000.00 square metres, a research and development centre spread over 6,000.00 square meters of constructed area, and a digital innovation centre spread over 578.32 square meters of constructed area. Its backward integration capabilities reduce its dependence on external supply of parts and components for machine manufacturing and support services and enables maintenance of quality control required to service global and national technical textile players. It designs and manufactures inverters, customized machine controllers and motors along with other products for its circular weaving machine and winders.

Risks and concerns

Heavy dependence on woven raffia machines market: The company is heavily dependent on the performance of the woven raffia machines market. It derived 88.16%, 87.28% (based on the Restated Financial Information) and 85.68% of its revenue from operations in Fiscals 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively, from woven raffia machines. The woven raffia machines market depends on the growth of end-use industries such as agro-textiles, building-textiles, geo-textiles and packing-textiles. Any slowdown in these end-use industries or any other adverse changes in the conditions affecting the woven raffia machines market can adversely impact its business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Supply chain disruptions and raw material price volatility may adversely impact operations: The company’s operations are dependent upon the efficient supply chain management of raw materials, parts and components made to drawings and standard bought-out parts that are required for manufacturing of machines for the technical textile industry. Cost of material consumed and stock-in-trade includes metals, standard bought-outs, parts or components that are ‘made to drawings’, electricals, cables and wires, other consumables, packing material, among others. Some of the key components that it sources externally are extrusion die, pump and screw, gear-box, bearings, electric motors and drives. It designs and manufactures inverters, customized machine controllers and motors along with other products for its circular weaving machine and winders, and purchase other raw materials, parts and components externally. Significant increases or fluctuations in prices of, or shortages of, or delay or disruption in supply of primary raw materials could affect its estimated costs, expenditures and timelines which may have an adverse effect on its business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Maximum revenue is derived from international operations: The company derives a portion of its revenues from operations and conduct business outside India. It derived 42.18% and 58.18% of its revenue from operations from overseas markets in Fiscals 2026 and 2025, respectively. Its inability to handle risks associated with its export sales and its international operations, including the imposition of tariffs or other anti-outsourcing legislation, could negatively affect its sales to customers in foreign countries, as well as its operations and assets in such countries.

Disruptions at its manufacturing facilities or warehouses could adversely affect its operations: The company owns and operates six machine manufacturing facilities, with four in India and one each in USA and Italy, along with one live experience centre in India. Of its Indian manufacturing facilities, two are located in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh along with the live experience centre (where it manufactures flexible intermediate bulk containers (FIBC)), and two are located in Bengaluru, Karnataka. Its manufacturing facility in USA is located in Burlington, North Carolina and its manufacturing facility in Italy is located in Como, Italy. It also has warehouses in India, UAE and USA, where it stores inventory of spares for after-sales services. Any significant social, political or economic disruption or natural calamities or civil disruptions in these states or countries or changes in the policies of the states or local governments could require it to incur significant capital expenditure, change its business strategy and may have an effect on its business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
